FOUNTAIN ATTACHMENT FOR PENS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 475,285, dated May 17,1892.

Apolication filed November 19, 1891. Serial No. 412,404. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. PRICE, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have in ventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Fountain Attachments for Pens;and I do declare the following to be'a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is an outer view of the pen and attachment.Fig. 2 is an inner view of same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section. Fig.4 is a perspective view of the attachment.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements infountain attachments for pens; and it consists in the novel constructionand combination of parts, as hereinafter specified.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates my improvedattachment, which consists of a piece of fine wire formed at one endinto a small hollow coil a, and at the other end bent into a loop I). T

This attachment is applied by placing the hollow coil a in the concaveof the pen above the point. The extended end is then put through theslot 01 of the pen and is bent into the loop I) to retain it in place.The spring action of the loop is sufficient to hold the coil in place.When the pen is dipped, the hollow coil a becomes filled with ink,acting as a reservoir from which the ink is slowly fed under themovements of the pen-points.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I believe to be new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a pen, of a hollow coil or spiral held in theconcave face thereof and serving as an ink-reservoir, the free end ofsaid spring being extended through the slot of the pen and looped on theback thereof, substantially as specified.

2. The fountain attachment for pens, comprising the wire having thehollow coil aand the spring-loop b, said loop being formed integral withthe coil and adapted to pass through the slot of the pen, substantiallyas specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE W. PRICE.
